It is.

Sad to see Richard leave. I know there are reasons for every move that we cannot know, but once again, as with Mathers, Moore always struck me as one who was happy to be here; to fight alongside and for his buddies, for better or worse! That's what it appeared like on the pitch to me at least.

I don't doubt the quality of new signings, I just hope that we can garner the same levels of enthusiasm and commitment from them.

Thanks Richard, you will be remembered fondly!

Still chance of the 8 so we let one of our consitent performers go! Why should I bother wasting my money for the last few games? Scrutton out also.

DUMB DUMB DUMB

I'd suggest that if the speccis gave up on the top 8 and decided not to bother with the top four MC would be gutted, unfortunately it sounds out the wrong signals.

All I can say is there must be a bloody good reason for him going - e.g. he wanted to leave, he was asking too much etc, because he visibly lifted the team when he came on the pitch. When you look at the likes of Jamie Peacock playing at 36, there's still a good two years at least in RM if he keeps himself as fit as he looks now!

By the time you have watched all your pre-recorded Alias Smith & Jones, it will be the end of the season and you will be looking forward to next season!

A bit of a mystery this, no club have announced signing him so for him to leave with immediate effect makes you wonder why, if the club are paying his wages in full then why let him leave when theoretically we still have a chance of making the top eight, conversely if he presumably has no other source of income why would he leave with a pay off less than what he could have earned by staying till the end of the season, maybe there's nothing in it or maybe something's gone off what the club wants to keep quiet, time will tell I suppose.

Looks like the NORTHSTANDERS will have to find someone else to sponsor , another one of our own going , will be interesting to see who are the seven own produced next season

Shame, but he's never been given a sustained opportunity, he needs to move on for the sake of his own career.

For next season, Johnstone, Jowitt, Crowther and Annakin are the ones who come to mind. I hope Walshaw will be one but it seems that ship has sailed too.

Cracking player who should be in Super League, I cant believe he cant get a deal with any SL club - I wish he was with us for at least next season.

Perhaps if he's retiring or going part time there was a job offer too good to turn down or may not be available when his contract ends? I've no idea but that's what I thought. I'd still sign him at Bradford in the Championship though.

Think as ever we are getting carried away with sentiment, panic and a touch of self pity - all very Trinity fanish.

For starters Richard Moore has been a very good players for us, not so good for most other clubs he's been at. I like him when he plays for us always did.

That said people are kidding themselves when calling him things like "a cracking player" - he isn't and in his first stint with us he ran very hot and cold. This time though his commitment has been beyond reproach though he remains the flawed player he always was in all other respects and will never get any better now. Truth is he should be very easily replaced.

The above is of course subjective - what isn't is the FACT that when we signed him the usual suspects were calling it a backward step etc etc and they are as ever the ones leading the moaning and groaning now. Truth is he came on a one year deal, did his job and went - that's life.

So instead of the relentless self flagellation over the loss of a slightly over the hill run of the mill SL players let's change the record and look forward to his replacement
